Howard County is one of the wealthiest counties in the country, anchored by the master-planned community of Columbia and stretching from Ellicott City's historic district to the rural western reaches near Glenelg and Cooksville. We buy houses across all of Howard County, in any condition.
Howard County's housing market has multiple personalities. Columbia's 10 villages each have their own character — Wilde Lake, Harper's Choice, Long Reach, Owen Brown, and others built in the 1960s-80s as one of America's first planned communities. Ellicott City has historic homes dating back to the 1700s alongside newer subdivisions. The western county is rural with horse farms, large lots, and estate properties.
A high portion of our Howard County purchases are aging Columbia properties — homes built when the community was first developed are now 40-50 years old and need their first major refresh. Original kitchens, dated bathrooms, aging HVAC systems, roofs at end of useful life. We buy as-is and handle all of it after closing.
For Ellicott City homes affected by the historic flood of 2016 (or in the Tiber-Hudson watershed), we work with sellers who need to move on from properties with flood history or insurance complications. We also see significant inherited-property volume in the older parts of Ellicott City and Elkridge.
